Burial mounds suspected in the Marquette County

Surveyors suspect there are ancient Native American burial mounds in the Marquette County village of Endeavor.

Village leaders considered several development proposals for the site, but federal law requires local tribes to first survey the area. Ho Chunk surveyors used ground-penetrating radar and found outlines of 4 mounds so far.

Wisconsin law prohibits the disturbance of mounds and other human burial sites.
